Shock and jaw.

Why, yes, we do live in a hotly-contested primary state.

We have been called by the following campaigns: Romney (2x), Huckabee, and most endearingly, a winsome supporter of Dennis Kucinich, who was obviously calling out of her home (no delay when I answered, and no buzz of a phone bank in the background).

She was the only one I really wanted to talk to, actually. Though the Romney electronic poll was refreshingly non-pushy, and over quickly.

Then there are the mailers and TV spots. Mitt's most recent commercials have been pretty effective, and convey his affection for his home state well. If he wins, those spots may be the margin.
